Hello! Like many people I was heartbroken at the end of the last episode so I tried to fill in the gaps as well as I could. I'm planning for this to be multiple chapters. Thanks for reading!

I don't own Fosters.

Callie took a deep breath after she finished telling Brandon what had become her biggest secret. She quickly looked down and noticed her hands shaking from fear and she tried to hide it. Having this conversation opened her up more than she was comfortable, she didn't want to show anymore weakness than she had to. She wished Brandon would say something.

"You know none of this is your fault right?" Brandon finally spoke, unsure of what to say. No one had ever confided this much in him.

"I guess." Callie responded then looked up to see Brandon silently urging her to say more. "I'm getting there, some days I know it wasn't my fault, and other days I'm not so sure. It's gotten easier with time." Callie now remembered why she hated opening up so much, the fear she felt was almost disabling.

"Well now you'll have more than time to help, you have me and whoever else you decide to tell. I take it you've never told anyone." Callie slowly shook her head no. This confession broke Brandon's heart more than any other Callie had made so far. He couldn't imagine living a life where he would have a good reason not to trust anyone. He suddenly gained a lot of respect for Callie, she was stronger than she seemed. "Well I think you probably have to tell Moms and they will probably need to report it but other than that I doubt you'll need to tell anyone if you don't want to. Do you want to tell Moms?" Brandon was trying to get his point across without being to upfront about it. He just really hoped she would answer yes to his question.

"It scares the crap out of me honestly." Callie started before she began to get a little choked up. As she tried to not begin to cry she tried to start speaking again. "It really scares me." She couldn't get any farther before she started to cry. She wished she could hold in the tears but they just kept slowly falling. "I'm sorry. This is just a lot."

"You don't need to apologize. It is a lot. I wish I could do more." Brandon was at a loss for words, he was unsure of what to say, he wanted to make her feel better but he didn't want to do anything that she wouldn't like or be uncomfortable with. He had a hard time resisting the urge to give her a hug and never let go. "I'm really sorry but you need to tell Moms what happened. They can help."

"They can only do so much; I could be taken away in a heartbeat." Callie was relieved that she had gained some control over her tears.

"Moms won't let you out of their sight for a while after this. It will be difficult for people to take you away with them right there. If it makes it easier just think about Sarah. By telling someone you will probably make her life a lot better than it probably is right now."

"Yeah you're right. Can we at least take a little break before we go home? Like a fast food break? I'm not sure how to handle all of this emotion at once." Callie tried to lighten the mood a little bit before everything would be changing. All of the emotion wore her out, and she knew there would be more. She was happy to see Brandon smile after her comment; he realized she was done with all of the emotion for now at least.

"That sounds great. I could really dig a milkshake right now. But then we go home." Brandon made sure Callie nodded before turning and beginning to walk towards his car. He tried not to focus on what would be happening soon and tried to switch his focus to helping Callie relax before she had to tell her story all over again.
